I'd love to have four. Click to expand... You must have room to spare Great conquest - one of, if not the greatest 68K desktop made - and four of 'em at once! I'd be feeli…

Progress!! I managed to successfully remove all of the radial style electrolytic CAPs today. The 2 really little ones came right off as soon as the solder melted. It was tougher…

AACK!!! Having to back-pedal now, install an older OS. I (obviously) intend to run ProTools as well as getting Sound Designer II back up. ProTools will have to be version 4.2 so…

Anyone know if that skip memory check trick works on a Q950??? Click to expand... Not to my knowledge. I believe that to turn off the Memory Check (pressing some key combinatio…

What happened with you and paypal?

Oh, I forgot to mention payments. I do accept personal check, cash, and money orders. Sadly, I don't accept PayPal, as I have and never will trust them again with my life. Also,…

Damn those are nice. It´s quite hard to find those 9xx machines over here in .eu if you don´t want to pay a truckload of €€€.40€ for those four boxes... that´s what I paid for my s…

Holy hell...not one, not two, but FOUR 900 series Quadras! Great score...10 euros a pop, not bad, especially with the bits they have. As for the WGS 95, I'd say someone's cherry p…

Not sure if I mentioned, but I'm willing to give any logic board a shot, not just SE/30s. If you have IIfx or different with caps needing replacing, I'll give it my best. PM me a…

that's counter intuitive but makes since |) Click to expand... Me too, you would think if something might break, the last thing you would want to do is put and leave any kin…

That attaching band is built in as part of the CRT isn't it? I would think any replacement you get will have one included. Click to expand... Yep. Proper replacements come wit…

A B&W is a new world ROM Mac so it doesn't have the 8GB limit, but it does have a 128GB limit to a HD on the internal controller. A rev 1 ATA controller chip will be flaky …

The metal band around the CRT is more than a means to secure the four corner mounting lugs. It is an implosion resisting band applied and tensioned by the CRT manufacturer to many …

Very nice, I love the 950 series (have 5 myself). Odd seeing a real WGS95 without the DAT drive, did it still have the PDS SCSI card installed and the optional 5 drive tray? You a…

I suppose that might make me fire up the se/30 in the garage.. I really need to bring all my macs inside the basement... I had a climate controlled storage area that I recently qui…

Very Very nice Conquest there! Those are worthy of MY basement } The Thunder II card with the dsps are very nice in this class of machine as well. With 256megs of ram I bet i…

Well, that certainly makes sense. That would sound like a video card fail in OSX. I really need to install my bigger hd in the b&w and set things up much better to my lik…

NICE!

That's ... awesome! I know you've had trouble finding old Macs near you, which makes it doubly awesome. How did you find these?
